   (...) Hmm. Would we have to mark it as mobile? ;-) So what's the nature of Moonbase LD-A? Before we decide that, we should decide on the background environment, so we'll know what's appropriate and inappropriate. I'll take that to another thread, (...)

   (...) It's too detailed for the discussion at hand, but I was wondering if it would be practical to use several systems. For interstellar travel, use galactic coordinates. For in-system travel, use solar coordinates. On a planet's surface, use the (...) (25 years ago, 3-Oct-99, to lugnet.space)
